Winnie at Many Tears

[Mary P]

 
14-05-09 Winnie and her sister Wist came to us from a breeder. She is a 6 year old, very large (portly) cocker ex breeding bitch. She does not know how to walk on a lead, or about living indoors, but she will love it all once she has learnt. She will need a home with an existing dog to show her the ropes and she will need to diet. She has a super temperament.
 
 PLEASE NOTE: Ex-breeding dogs are normally best homed with another dog as they have usually never lived in a house before. They are used to living with other dogs and learn faster with another to copy from. This also helps with house training and learning how to walk on a lead. They will make lovely pets but do need a lot of love, time and patience.

 Winnie is an absolute sweetheart! She's gentle, quiet, calm and loving........in fact, a total babe. During the time she's been with us, and joined a group of 12 other dogs without hesitation, she's started looking for cuddles and human company. It's often the way, with these ex-breeding girls, that they try to avoid humans initially; but Winnie has settled so well in four days that she's already feeling confident enough to approach us. She is a very laid-back little girl who likes a gentle walk or play in the garden, followed by a nice snooze in a comfy bed. We've had no "accidents" at all, and she sleeps all night without a murmur. She's also learning about walking on a lead, and is coming along well. Winnie would suit a kind, patient home, where she could go for shorter walks (perhaps an older family?) and be allowed to gain confidence, preferably helped by another gentle dog or bitch.
